Decent albeit odd after-dinner drinker, it fails at trying to be either a port or a red iced wine. A slight abomination then, drifting somewhere in the middle. $6 was right for this, not $60+.

Well, I definitely expected more given the hype - although my taste buds were certainly fatigued after blowing thru four 750's amongst the 4 of us. What threw me off most was the thin viscosity; I was expecting a more-unctuous affair ... a thick & sticky oily substance, perfect for pairing with desserts. But this drank more like a sugar-sweetened petite sirah, with little intrigue. Hoping my 2nd bottle proves this note wrong.

A very enjoyable port-like Late Harvest Petite Sirah and Cabernet blend. It's a little pricey, so not sure of its price to value ratio, but ignoring the price, it went down very nicely with desserts and chocolates.

No change from my last review. Very enjoyable, but pricey.
